Y’all know that I don’t care about Real Housewives of any city, honestly. In theory, I probably should have cared about Real Housewives of the Potomac, but didn’t that show suck? Anyway, people just seem to care about the big franchises: Beverly Hills, New York, New Jersey, Atlanta and of course, the Real Housewives of Orange County. RHOOC fans, this one is for you: your housewives are morons. Real Housewife Kelly Dodd was arguably the most offensive one, because she tweeted out that the pandemic was “God’s way of thinning out the herd.” That tweet was in response to some fans questioning why she was still traveling by plane, back and forth from California to New York. And she never answered why she was traveling so much during a lockdown, but she later apologized for her tweet-rant:
Kelly Dodd is apologizing profusely for what she calls her “ridiculous” and “stupid” comment that coronavirus is “God’s way of thinning the herd.” The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star claims she “felt bad” for her remarks after she received major backlash online.
“I want to give a public apology,” she said on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday. “When I wrote ‘this is God’s way of thinning the herd,’ that’s not what I meant.” Dodd, 44, explained that she only meant to pose the question whether the global pandemic, which has claimed the lives of more than 176,000 people worldwide to date, was “God’s way of thinning the herd.”
“I’m not insensitive,” she said in the video. “I feel bad for all the families that lost loved ones, and I do think that we should all stay home and protect everybody. That’s not what I meant, and I want to apologize to anyone who got offended, OK? I’m sorry. I hope you can all forgive me for saying something so ridiculous and so stupid, so again, please accept my apology.”
I’m including her video apology below – the delivery is not authentic at all and she doesn’t explain what she really meant, nor does she (again!!) explain why she’s flying back and forth across the country.
Meanwhile, Vicki Gunvalson (also a RHOOC) really, really wants her hair salon and nail salon to reopen quickly. Poor sausage is more worried about her acrylics than hundreds of thousands of people dying from a pandemic around her. Vicki tweeted and tagged California’s Governor Newsom and wrote: “Let’s get America who is healthy back to work. We need hairdressers, nail techs, small business’s and restaurants to start reopening May 1st. Please?” She was slammed in the comments big-time. Why do both of these women sound like they’re vapidly reading off MAGA talking points??
Cancel #RHOC already. They suck. pic.twitter.com/HMVpyJNz0V

I think it’s pretty f-cked that if you’re going to believe in religion and you’re choosing to believe that your god is that vengeful and horrific that he’d allow people to suffer in order to ‘thin the herd’.
A lot of the super christians also think that if you’re rich, it’s because God wants you to be, and conversely, if you’re poor, it’s because God. They are so twisted away from what Jesus actually preached, they really shouldn’t call themselves christians, IMO
It honestly disgusts me.
Husband has a coworker who’s a Jehovah’s Witness. He’s also a germaphobe. Suddenly he started saying “oh the virus isn’t even that bad” which is COMPLETELY off brand for this guy haha. Clearly the watchtower bullshit is encouraging this line of thinking which is a shame since if he needs a transfusion he can’t even accept one.
I completely agree, and I blame Joel Osteen for preaching that tacky ‘gospel of wealth’. Jesus Himself would be disgusted by these people that called themselves Christians.
Kelly Dodd is engaged to Rick Leventhal (he works at Fox) that why I think she’s flying to NY
I’m sure she heard it from him.
This is hilarious! She doesn’t even realize that her behavior is putting her into the category of those who will be “thinned”.
This is what we should call the protesters now. “Those who will be thinned.”
Not too bright, is she?
Jetting about will get her ‘thinned’ all right.
Look, while plagues might be nature’s way of natural selection to course correct overpopulation, doesn’t mean you have to help nature out.
And “God’s way of thining the herd” is silly. Do none of these idiot Christians realize that God is trying to save people by providing the warnings to stay home? The physicians and nurses to save lives? The YouTube to replace congregating at Mass?
Especially since these two broads don’t seem to be very accepting of what nature or “God” gave them. I can smell the botox and filler from here.
Oh, Emmy – how well you phrased what I was thinking! 😂👏
The crazy thing is that Vickie’s daughter, Brianna is an ER nurse. You would think that she of all people would be taking this seriously. I read that her daughter is pregnant, so perhaps she’s on maternity leave. I guess Vickie doesn’t care about all the other healthcare workers who are risking their lives.
I watched a couple seasons of this show, but haven’t seen it in years.
She also suffers from Lupus, so I have no idea why she is allowed to work with a compromised immune system. I have Lupus, and my doctors don’t want me to go anywhere. All of my appointments are conducted via my IPad.
I hate that these stupid shows have made stupid people famous for stupid reasons.
Also, I’m really sick of people like this demanding that workers go back and put themselves in danger for them. It’s never “I want to open my business so ai can work“ it’s “I want my nail technician to risk their life to do my nails”.
I so agree with you.
THIS, THIS, THIS!!!
ITA. these idiots.
I hate the ‘open the salons’ thoughtless fools so much rn. I’m a licensed nail technician and the spa where I was employed has closed (March 16). I’m not getting any unemployment, bc the system is in knots. I’m at a loss as to how I’d perform services and keep 6 feet apart. I do not think elective cosmetic procedures are essential. I would love to be working, I need the money a lot. But I know this pandemic is not over and I think reopening salons is foolish and will cause infection to many people. I do not want to do that to anyone. Money is not worth a life.
nicegirl – so sorry that you are in that situation. I hope that the unemployment issue gets fixed asap and that your state has good leadership that will result in a safe opening. Good luck and stay healthy
Kelly is incredibly stupid and selfish. What kind of twisted ass God would pick off mostly elderly and immune suppressed people anyway? People who truly believe that are sick.
It’s the same ridiculousness with those people who post pictures of their new cars or homes and say “We prayed for this and we’re so blessed”. First of all why are you praying for a brand new Land Rover or whatever, and second do you really think God just loves you *that* much to provide you with a fancy new car when there are millions of people worldwide starving and homeless? Lol, it’s all so insane to me.
Well, they are republicans and super “Christian” (granted you wouldn’t be able to tell based off the way they act on RHOC), so none of this is surprising. Also Potomac is good. Some of the og real housewives are so boring now. I only keep up with NYC and just started back on Beverly Hills cause of Garcelle Beauvais.
I dare her to make that “thinning out the herd” comment to the parents of that five year old girl that died. See how above it all she feels without a computer screen to protect her.
Potomac is the best one!
Potomac is a gift!
They hate each other on the show. Now they can cry together over the backlash ! Of course Vicky is rich and of course self observed so it’s all about her and Kelly’s big mouth has always been a problem
Just like they say youth is wasted on the young, it’s like, money is wasted with the wealthy. IDIOTS
Garbage people. Both of them.
